FTP link from frames

[Emc2]

Say I have a link to a ftp site:

ftp://username@ftp.domainname.com

Can I put this link in a frame and have it open in another frame?

I can't exactly tell this link to open a new window btw, b/c I'm not writing the code...a program is doing it for me, and there isn't an option for which frame to open it in.

can you edit the HTML or add like a java script or something afterwards?

Yeah, HTML editing should do that.

Lookin for the link to explain this.

well, ok, let me re-explain...it's a flash button that's doing this.

Perferrably, I'd like the ftp site to stay within the frameset, but I'm not sure if this is possible. Every time I click on the flash button within the frame, it gives 'page not displayed'. But in the preview of the button, and in the saved html (non-frames) file, it comes right up and asks for the password like it should. However, when I copy the <object> code into the html that loads the flash button, it doesn't do like it should.

Hence my question.

[^hyd^]

are you making the flash button yourself? if so, according to the documentation you should be able to specify the frame name in the "window" property of getURL();

here's the description of getURL() from the website getURL()

or if you're making them from within Fireworks or some other app, try looking for a "window" or "target" property for the button when you make it, and put the frame name into it.

g'luck!

specifically, the button's made from a program called Mixfx. Found it on the internet for $27.00...not too shabby to create neat little flash movies in under five minutes.

I've fixed it by creating an animation in Cool3d and exporting it as a .gif, and using regular html to do what I need. Thx. for the info hyd.
